FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Literacy Center Game - Sink My Letter!”

by Lorraine Salome

Pre-Kindergarten - 1st Grade

Just like the old-fashioned game of Battleship, this game can be used by partnered teams at Kinder or 1st grade centers to practice letter identification.

Laminate the board and have children select 5 letters to write in the yellow boxes at the bottom of the board. Kids take turn guessing each others' letter choices in hopes of "sinking" their letters. They can place markers on the alphabet above to keep track of guesses.

For an advanced version, have children play the game with letter sounds.

Thanks for your interest! I hope your students enjoying playing this game during center time.
